The Center for Gender & Sexuality Law at Columbia Law School is pleased to announce the lineup for its Spring 2014 Law and Sexuality Colloquium, “Law, Rights, Religion”

With greater and greater frequency, "conscience" or "religion" is being invoked to indemnify private actors from complying with constitutional rights to sexual liberty, statutory rights to equality, or policies designed to assure equal opportunity. The Spring Colloquium will bring together theorists, religious leaders, and activists who are working to contest and reframe the utilization of religious exemptions in civil rights laws.
